Getting hacked

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I keep deleting a poster , banned his ip, and use the spambot image plus a special question he still manages to get into my forum and post a spam message, I noticed if you search on google lots of other forums are getting hit with the same mesage post.

This does not mean that you are getting hacked. It simply means that this bot is possibly human-assisted. There isn't much you can do against these types of spammers, apart from moderating their registration/posts.

i have it set up so that all new user posts that contain links or certain key words are automatically put into moderation

this is set up until a user has reached 10 posts

its a bit of a hassle at times but it keeps spam out of my forum

no viagra, no sex ads, no iphones for sale cheap etc etc

If it keeps on happening, try disable new registrations for awhile.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
